[Member-Forum] PC 2014 - PSUBS Convention 2014

[Joe Perkel]

That's a nice environment for diving among reef dwellers. Where it gets dicey, is with the pelagics, whites, tigers, mako and the like. 

We get the occasional nasty wandering in from the Gulf Stream, not too often, but on occasion.  

Wish I was there, that was what 120' or better visibility? Where's the fans and branch corals? The bottom looks picked clean!!

It was a beautiful stay with great weather (with the exception of a few rain showers thrown in for the vegetation). We are thinking about another run in April/May, but not sure yet. If you want to hook up for some diving let me know.

And besides, it's your own fault. Islamorada is what...two hours from you? The logic says that if you can't do a close trip, then you have to do the long one as penance. And Snoopy is cool. Think Swiss army knife with ballast tanks. You'll like it. Very instructive for when you get back to the design files.
